Improving Livelihoods by Conserving Mangroves [06:29]
More than 900 families in Ecuador depend on crabbing in the mangroves of the Gulf of Guayaquil. These same mangroves mitigate global warming and contribute to global carbon sequestration efforts. The Gulf is one of six sites where the USAID Sustainable Forests and Coasts project is conserving biodiversity and protecting natural resources from depletion. In this case, the project works with the Ministry of the Environment and crabbing communities to protect the $60 million in crabbing related activities while preventing mangrove deforestation. See how over 60000 hectares are being protected as well as how the project is helping communities receive a higher price for their crab meat sales.

"Isabela and a Wicked Volcano" Claraz8's photos around Isabela, Ecuador [02:38]
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Isabela, Ecuador by TravelPod blogger Claraz8 titled "Isabela and a Wicked Volcano" Claraz8's travel blog entry: "Today we had breakfast at the hotel and then rode another bumpy boat ride to our next destination, Isabella Island. It took about 2 ½ hours, again by small boat with two large motors.. Isabella Island only has about 2300 inhabitants, and it feels really exotic. As we came in we saw Pinguinos (Penguins) sitting atop black lava rock, and old fishing boats. The town itself is on the beach and all the roads are wide, made of hard packed dirt. They sprayed our hands with disinfectant again when we got off the boat and as always checked all our bags. We arrived to a quaint little hotel and then met right away for our last day of snorkeling. I have to say though, it was the best! A Panga (water taxi) took us to the first part of our day, which was a hike through the black lava to where the tiburons (sharks) rest before they go out to sea and start feeding. The landscape was gorgeous with the black lava rocks, green mangrove and aqua sea all around. When we got to where the sharks were it was incredible. There must have been about 10 white-tip sharks circling in a narrow little channel right below us. Sea iguanas covered the walls so that when you got close the wall seemed to come alive; red crabs scrabbled their way along near the waters edge. We took video and pictures but I don't think anything could do it ...
